Depending on the gradient of the stream along it's upper reaches, this waterfall easily tops 2000 feet tall. However, it also appears that this waterfall may be dry now. We can't tell whether this is due to a shift in the glacier's melt patterns, a hydro project (wouldn't be a surprise). If they do still flow, it appears the tallest drop is in the order of 240m. The falls are the far right waterfall in the picture linked below.
